Re: VS2005 ArgumentException with GetString

Resource file format has changed with VS2005 so make sure your original resx
went through the upgrade wizard and not just added:
http://www.danielmoth.com/Blog/2005/08/resx-compatibility-for-smart-device.html

Also note that there is a new ResourceManager class you can use with VS2005
projects... autogenerated for you giving you compile time checking of
resource names you use. I refer to that and provide links in the 3rd para
here:
http://www.danielmoth.com/Blog/2005/05/my-project-properties.html

You can check the full resource names by using in debug:
Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceNames()

If you are still having problems, please post a full repro...

Cheers
Daniel
